The new Craft House food and drink business that's replacing the Dark Star tavern on Frankfort Avenue in Crescent Hill will hold a neighborhood meeting Thursday, June 12 to discuss having entertainment inside and dining and drinking outside.

The meeting will be at 6 p.m. inside the Craft House, 2636 Frankfort.

Those who attend will have a chance to review the proposed plans and discuss them with representatives of the Craft House and Architectural Artisans, 748 E. Market St.

The specific request to Metro Planning & Design Services is for a conditional use permit to allow indoor music/entertainment and outdoor dining and alcohol consumption.

Beau Kerley, a partner in the Craft House, has said the building was almost completely gutted and is being expanded on one side. A patio also is being added in back, across an alley from the back yards of homes.

Brewery Properties bought the site for $500,000 in April. Brewery Properties includes BBC (Bluegrass Brewing Co.) co-owner Patrick Hagan, who also is a partner in the Craft House. The business plans to serve beers from Kentucky breweries.
